[PRP] Wax on Wax off [Estel/Shun] FIN

[Luridel]

"Okay..." She wasn't too confident in doing any of those things, but at least she could try.

This time, she grabbed for his wrist and tried to pull him off-balance.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun stumbled forward some as she yanked him forward. He came back around and nodded.

"Good. You can apply the same basics to a kick."

He summoned his blades at his point.

"Or a knife attack. If a strike is coming in from above, move your arm up like this," he stated while showing the block, "You'll still want to move off to the side if possible. A slip up here means a cut."

The reaper moved in with a slow downwards stab towards her chest.  

[Luridel]

If she hadn't seen him do that before, not to mention Hel summoning her spear the other day, she might have been a lot more alarmed. As it was, Estel simply jumped backwards, raising her arms defensively. "How can you do that? Where were those before?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

"I'm a reaper. Reapers either have a weapon or a familiar, in which they can summon, created from their own fear. These daggers are my reaper weapon," he stated. Shun made a vague motion to the multitude of other small blades on his person, "The rest of my knives are normal blades. I can't summon or dismiss them."

Rolling his shoulders, he moved in with another slow strike.

"Try to deflect my blow. Two more times, then we'll move into real practice."  

[Luridel]

Estel stepped in to deflect the blow the way he had shown her. "I see! And Hel has both, but only one or the other at a time? Because her familiar turns into a spear?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

"Hel's case is different. The only reason why she's capable of shifting it is because she had acquired an artifact that allows her to do so," Shun explained before taking a step back.

"Are you ready to put these techniques into practice? Or try to?"  

[Luridel]

Try to. That was the key word there, wasn't it.

Estel answered with an optimistic "Maybe!" and dropped into a defensive stance. "I'll try, anyway!"  

[Blade Kuroda]

"Very well."

Shun rolled his shoulders and moved into more of a fighting stance. The time for slow strikes was over. His good eye narrowed as he watched her, as if waiting for her to move first.  

[Luridel]

"Right... okay."

All of the preamble had made her nervous, but Estel took a deep breath and aimed a punch at Shun all the same. It wasn't one of her best.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun began to move the moment he saw her do the same. He shifted to the side, blocking the punch with his forearm, before, aiming a slice towards her side.

HP: 60
Damage: 5  

[Luridel]

(( FORGOT DICE. TAKE TWO. ))  

[Luridel]

Estel brought her arms down defensively in exactly the wrong way, the dagger cutting across her forearm. The ghost hissed in pain and backed away. A glowing crack had formed on her skin where the dagger had cut her.

HP: 25/30
Action: Attacking Shun
Damage: 0  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun didn't say anything yet, and moved in to keep up the offensive for now. He came at her with his other blade, making for a stab, in a way that he had during their pre-spar exercises. Only faster.

HP: 60
Damage: 5  

[Luridel]

Estel brought her forearm up to try and shove Shun's arm to the side, moving a fraction closer and attempting to step down on his foot, hard. Her eyes were wide and panicked.

-

HP: 20/30
Action: Attacking Shun
Damage: 4  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun let out a grunt as she stomped on his foot. It was enough to cause him to stumble a little, and such, he attempted to push Estel back to give him a moment to recover.

HP: 55
Damage: 1
